Not even GNOME itself could ignore the GNOME 3 criticism for much longer. "As part of the planning for the DropOrFixFallbackMode feature, we've decided that we will compile a list of supported gnome-shell extensions. This will be a small list, focused on just bringing back some central 'classic' UX elements: classic alt tab, task bar, min/max buttons, main menu. To ensure that these extensions keep working, we will release them as a tarball, just like any other module."

Same here; while the old installer was excellent and allowed for nearly anyone to install Arch, the new one was no problem for anyone already used to GNU/Linux. I do wish they had kept the old one alive as an option for newbies, but apparently that was against the Arch Way.
